Dalrympians are very grateful to ‘Steve’ from The Skeptical Doctor, who on that website draws our attention to the documentary Death of a Nation: The Timor Conspiracy (David Munro 1994; written and presented by John Pilger), in which Dalrymple — in silhouette to protect his identity — is interviewed (from 38:17) about his illegal visit to the former Portuguese colony. Pilger introduces Dalrymple thus:

This doctor went to East Timor on our behalf and secretly investigated the use of enforced birth control.

Not only was Dirk Coetzee allowed to brag about his ‘adventures’ on television and disingenuous generals to drone on about the meaning of ‘eliminate,’ most South African whites and their institutions were allowed to pretend, like good Germans, that they had opposed apartheid all along. 227 (John Pilger)

Being in the presence of a great crime always manages to arouse competing moral perspectives from the sentient witnesses. 15 (Robert Stone)
